Priceless Woman Ministries
You Know You Are Loved When...
- Your child moves his chair
next to yours at the table.
- The first thing your child
does when he gets up in the morning is hug you.
- Your child snuggles up next
to you on the couch to watch TV.
- Your child asks you to come
outside and play.
- You're asked to play
Barbies or cars.
- Your child draws a picture
of you and him together.
- Your child offers to share
his chocolate bar with you. Especially if it's the very
last bite.
- Your child offers to
vacuum, wash dishes, or change the baby's dirty diaper.
This especially applies to teenagers and four-year-old's.
- Your 20-month-old hugs your
neck as she sings the *Barney Song* to you.
- Your children tell you how
pretty you look. (Even on a bad hair day)
- Your 5-year-old son gives
you his brightest smile and winks at you.
- Your children fight over
who gets to sit beside you at the restaurant.
- Your child remembers you in
his bedtime prayers.
- You go on a trip with your
husband and all of the children hug you a gazillion times
and say "I sure am gonna' miss you!".
- Your child wants to hold
your hand.
- Your child wants to spend
his only dollar on you.
- Your son picks a bouquet of
dandelions for you.
- Your three-year-old also
picks you a bouquet. Of weeds, that is. Roots and all.
My Prayer
Thank you, Lord,
for tiny fingerprints on the walls and windows.
Thank you, Lord, for the noise and the busy-ness of the day.
Thank you, Lord, for all that these precious children are.
For I know that this could be a spotless, noiseless, still, and
childless home.
Help me to be kind, and loving, and gentle with these little
souls.
Help me to love them like you love me. Unconditionally.
Amen.

Faulkner, June 12, 1996
For my children -
Elizabeth, Scott, William, Rebekah, and Stephanie.
I know without a doubt that I am loved.
Dedicated to
honor our Lord, Jesus Christ, for so great a salvation, and for
undeserved daily blessings.
The End
